Costco was one of the first retailers to hike their minimum salary to $15 (it's now $16).
However, the pay is only one of the benefits of working at the warehousing store.
Now let's dig deep into the actual perks of a Costco employee...
Multiple Bonuses Per Year: Even though this benefit is only available after a few years of working, it is very valuable benefit.
As per Costco's website, long-tenured hourly workers earn Additional Checks (perks) two times a year.
Free Executive Membership: Employees at Costco receive complimentary membership cards for themselves and their immediate family.
Using these cards Costco Employees will get 2% cash back annually. Workers with 25 years experience will get lifetime membership.
Priority Access to Hot-Ticket Items: Employees get the opportunity to try out new products before they hit shelves.
Priority Access to Sale Items: "They spot clearance sales before customers do, and if they're a good value, they can grab them.
Free Turkey for Thanksgiving day: Several Costco employees confirmed that every Thanksgiving, they get coupons for a free turkey.
However, Costco employees prefer not to take the free turkeys to home.
Exclusive shopping hours: The biggest problem with shopping at retail stores like Costco is that they have a long line at the check out, but they will avoid these.
They can shop after hours when there is no one, And it seems a lot of Costco employees use this perk.
